DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

To be clear, in the non-conflict situations, the embodiments andfeatures of the present invention can be combined with each other. Thepresent invention will be further specified by the following drawingsand embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the present invention provides anelectronic cigarette sealing sleeve which is used for sealing theelectronic cigarette or an atomizer and other components of anelectronic cigarette. On the sealing sleeve disposes a removing portionto facilitate removing. The present invention also provides aninhalation rod of the electronic cigarette. The inhalation rod includesan inhalation rod body and an electronic cigarette sealing sleevesheathed around one end of the inhalation rod body. The presentinvention also provides an electronic cigarette, which includes anelectronic cigarette body and the electronic cigarette sealing sleevesheathed on one end of the electronic cigarette body. Specifically, theelectronic cigarette body includes an inhalation rod 10 and a power rod20. Inside the inhalation rod 10 disposes an atomization assembly forheating and atomizing smoking liquid into smoke. Thus, the inhalationrod 10 is also known as an atomizer. One end of the inhalation rod 10and/or the power rod 20 disposes an electronic cigarette sealing sleeve30. On the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 disposes a removingportion 40 to facilitate removing. When the electronic cigarette sealingsleeve 30 locates at the end of the inhalation rod 10, the electroniccigarette sealing sleeve 30 may sheath on one distal end of theinhalation rod 10 as the nozzle end, or may sheath on the other distalend of the inhalation rod 10, which is the connection end of theinhalation rod 10 connected to the power rod 20. When the electroniccigarette sealing sleeve 30 locates at the end of the power rod 20, theelectronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 may sheath on the connection endof the power rod 20 connecting with the inhalation rod 10, or may sheathon the other distal end of the power rod 20 opposite to the connectionend, which is a bottom end of the electronic cigarette.

The electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 is made of siliconematerials. At the end of the inhalation rod 10 disposes steps 12. Theelectronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 is installed on the steps 12, andthe side of the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 is co-planar withthe side of the power rod 20 after installation. In this one embodiment,the steps 12 is disposed on an external electrode of the inhalation rod10 used to connect with the power rod 20. Then the sealing sleeve 30 issheathed on a connection portion of the inhalation rod 10 of theelectronic cigarette connecting with the power rod 20. The steps 12 canalso be disposed on the other end of the inhalation rod 10 as the nozzleend opposite to the connection end, or disposed on the connection endbetween the power rod 20 and the inhalation rod 10 or the other end ofthe power rod 20 opposite to the connection end, which is a bottom endof the electronic cigarette.

According to the present invention, it mainly takes two aspects intoconsideration about the removing portion 40 for convenient removing ofthe electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30: the first aspect is disposedto increase friction, and the second aspect is disposed to be protrudingto form a stop. Of course, it is understood that one skill in the artcan combine the two aspects for use, such as on the electronic cigarettesealing sleeve 30 is disposed not only antiskid structure to increasefriction but also stop structure disposed to be protruding.

Regarding the first aspect, the removing portion 40 is antiskid strips41 disposed on the surface of the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30used for contacting with human body. As an embodiment, the antiskidstrips 41 are of convex and concave interposed arrangement structure.Preferably, the convex and the concave are interposed arranged as ring,spiral or reticular structure. Preferably, the cross-sectional shape ofthe convex and/or the concave is circular, elliptical, circular orpolygonal. Specifically, the polygonal is one or a plurality oftriangular, quadrilateral and pentagon.

Regarding the second aspect, the removing portion 40 is a flange 42formed by one distal end of the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30extending outward radially. As an embodiment, the flange 42 is a ring.Preferably, the flange 42 disposes antiskid strips along thecircumferential or axial of an outer side. As an embodiment, the flange42 is zigzag-shaped. As an embodiment, on the flange 42, a through holeis disposed. Then, by the through hole, on one hand, a hook may be usedto hook into the through hole to remove the electronic cigarette sealingsleeve; on the other hand, a string or metal ring can be penetrate intoto facilitate hanging or taking the electronic cigarette when needed.

In summary, the present invention adopts disposing the electroniccigarette sealing sleeve 30 on the end of the inhalation rod 10 and/orthe power rod 20, and disposing the removing portion 40 on theelectronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 to facilitate its removing, thusto achieve the technical effect of convenient and quick removing of theelectronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30. When the sealing sleeve 30locates at the external of the connection portion between the electroniccigarette inhalation rod 10 and the power rod 20, on the one hand, thesealing sleeve 30 seals and protects the electrode at the internalconnection part and makes the connection between the inhalation rod 10and the power rod 20 stronger, and the structure is simple; on the otherhand, it is convenient to hold the electronic cigarette to avoidfalling, and makes it more convenient of holding when dismantling theelectronic cigarette inhalation rod 10 and the power rod 20, and theoperation is also convenient. When the sealing sleeve 30 is sheathed atthe nozzle end of the electronic cigarette inhalation rod 10, on the onehand the sealing sleeve 30 seals the nozzle end, improving the touchfeeling of user mouth; at the same time the sealing sleeve 30 actsantiskid effect and facilitate holding.
